*** About Saguaro Cacti: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a giant cactus species native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican State of Sonora, and the Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California. Towering as high as 40 feet, these cacti are iconic of the American Southwest and can live for more than 150 years. Saguaros bear white flowers, which are Arizona’s state wildflower, and red fruits, which are edible and have been used as food by Native American tribes for centuries. Their distinctive branched silhouette becomes more pronounced as they age, starting to grow arms around 70 years into their lifespan.:
